Al mirrored the ABC journalist's statement when he also shared photos of Nick and wrote: "This young man is an #inspiration and we are so proud of his accomplishments this year with @achillesnyc and @achilles_international."
Al and Deborah could not be prouder of their son
Nick, who is the youngest of Al's three children, is "somewhere on the (autism) spectrum and maybe obsessive-compulsive," the TV star previously told Guideposts magazine.
He added: "But those labels can be frustrating; they don't begin to describe who Nick really is."

"Do I get frustrated with my son sometimes? You bet," Al wrote.
"But then I remember my dad, how understanding he was. And Deborah reminds me that I have to show my son not only that I love him but that I like him as well. More than that, I admire him."
